It strikes me as odd, especially as the earlier pics of EVE I find did have extensive implants and replacement tech.
Now it all seems like humans with better tech.


Your brain's full of implants, isn't it? And you're typing this while floating in goo in the cockpit of a ship? With a brain uploader stuck into the pod full of goo to kill you as soon as it's breached and swap you to the med clone?
You're a full-body cyborg with an uploaded brain. And why replace a limb with cybernetics when you can just jump-clone to a new you?

Why would you WANT to do anything outside of your ship? You have the whole of space at your fingertips, within easy reach. Outside of the ship, you're just another lump of meat on legs.
It's COLD out there. And dangerous. You might drip on the deck plating, or catch a disease or something...

How exactly do we get a million ships into jove space? And what's to say that there isn't something sitting there with the ability to vaporize an entire armada.


The same way you goons get anything anywhere; drop a cyno and jump-bridge stuff in with a titan!
Getting the cyno there would be the hard part, but I'm sure you can just cloak a drone up and jury-rig a warp drive to get it there.

Hot-drop the jove!

Goons aren't a part of the lore.

And we may be pod pilots, but that doesn't make us any less human. Being human means we have human wants and needs, and not all of them can be filled from inside a pod.

The broker didn't instigate a war from inside his pod, he had to get out and actually do things in "person".

Edit: And some pod pilots in the lore actually have clones augmented with cybernetic limbs and organs.

ok look at it this way jove are light years ahead in tech right look what happen when just one earth based weapon was found just one. One shot kill the minmatar fleet. note the jove were around before eve closed so you would think they have those weapons.

1 mil drake fleet insta pop with one shot. In the war amarr vs Jove the jove only use as littled as need to stop the amarr dead in there tracks one jove mothership did that all. So if jove have even a handfull of earth/Teran base weapons will bend over and kiss you sry butt good by because the jove just killed your fleet in one shot.

also re-read the books if you missed it. The broker wanted the vitoc cure because he had the vitoc express breakdown, and whatever caused it got into his clone pool. so as soon as they woke up they'd immediately start dying again.

the latest gallente-caldari war and the rise of tibus heth was his spite ****-you to Ishukone. if you won't give me my ****ing cure I'm going to kill your nation and put it in the hands of a man I believe to be a zealot idiot. Caldari will die and you're the reason I'm going to kill the dream.

also to consider all anyone has seen of sleeper tech is realistically a bunch of autonomous security drones that happen to be as big as cruisers, and such. Haven't seen warships yet.

I said human not capsuleer for a reason.
Also why go through the whole procedural of getting into a cloned squishy body, when I could upload into shells and have mes a crowd and thus make a blob of me ships blowing up your squishy thing?
Also until I have limbs capable of breaching that door it will not be enough.
Though the implants are nice they really dont seem to be in my toon.
More like they go in the pod than in my head.
It would be nice if slotting an implant in altered the appearance of my character.
